Local Representative Announcements:

August 15th, 2013: Upcoming Representative Assembly - On August 20th, Local Representatives from across the province will be meeting to discuss bargaining and other emergent issues. I will post a report here after this meeting. Keep in mind that ANYTHING that is discussed "in committee" will not be posted, as it is confidential. I will be able to report out to teachers only in a private manner (meaning a private conversation between teachers or in another "in committee" discussion). Alternatively, feel free to contact me personally. - S. McGregor, NDTA VP & LR

September 1st, 2013:Five teachers from the NDTA attended the summer conference in Kamloops. A Representative Assembly was held on the evening of August 20th and bargaining was discussed. There were 5 motions brought forth by the Executive Committee to be voted on. Four of these were made public (not kept "in committee") and all passed unanimously. They were as follows:

1) That the Federation call on the government to provide:

a) the necessary funding to conclude a fully funded negotiated collective agreement at the bargaining table that provided a fair deal for teachers and

better support for kids.

b) the additional necessary funding to school boards to implement the fully funded negotiated collective agreement.

2) That the Federation call upon the provincial government to negotiate in good faith with CUPE and to fully fund any negotiated settlement

3) That the Federation express solidarity with CUPE and support for its efforts to conclude a negotiated collective agreement

4) That the Federation work with locals in the fall to organize meetings with members with an Executive Committee member in attendance to invite discussions of:

a)issues of importance to members.
